How To Print from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch

Standard

The iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad are great devices for the mobile workforce, but there is one major piece missing before you can completely replace your laptop: how can you print a document, presentation, boarding pass, or anything else for that matter? Well, you have some options.

First, make sure that have the right equipment. The following devices support AirPrint, provided they are updated to the latest version of iOS:

iPad, iPad 2 (or later)
iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S (or later)
iPod touch (3rd generation or later)

You will also need a printer that supports AirPrint. Brother, Canon, EPSON, HP, and Lexmark all make models that support AirPrint. Apple maintains a list of these printers here:

If you already have a printer, then you’ll need some additional software to print.

I have a 6 year-old HP inkjet that works great with AirPrint Activator, but I haven’t had the chance to test out any of the other solutions. Bear in mind that not all printers will work, so your mileage may vary. Generally speaking, the newer the printer, the better your chances are.

Happy printing!

IOS-5 Beta 4 - Over the Air Updating Begins!

Standard

Apple released IOS 5 Beta 4 on Friday, 7/22, marking the beginning of a new era for iPhone users.

With full release of IOS 5, iPhone’s will be able to finally LOSE THE CABLE, and sync and update everything over the air.  Coming in at 133 MB, this update takes about 10 minutes to download on a WiFi connection, and about 1-2 hr’s on a 3G connection, allowing you to work on your phone while you wait.

Apple recommends that you have at least 50% charge in your phone prior to this download, or stay plugged in, and you will have a notification in the system preferences pane of your home screen.

Apple has also included a toggle switch for Documents and Data, and Mobile Usage for iCloud sync.

Look for iOS 5 coming by this fall.  More to come!
